Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time
to
consider
how
you
can
maximize
the
fun
and
excitement
your
equipment
offers.
This
manufacturer
and
the
Electronic
Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound
come
through
loud
and
clear
without
annoying
blaring
or
distortion—and,
most
importantly,
without
affecting
your
sensitive
hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts
to
higher
volumes
of
sound.
So
what
sounds
“normal”
can
actually
be
loud
and
harmful
to
your
hearing.
Guard
against
this
by
Setting
your
equipment
at
a
safe
level
BEFORE
your
hearing
adapts.
To establish a safe level:
© Start your volume control at a low setting.
@
Slowly
increase
the
sound
until
you
can
hear
it
comfortably
and
clearly,
and
without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
@ Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage
or
loss
in
the
future.
After
all,
we
want
you
listening
for
a
lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of
fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound
levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic. normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic. garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

PRECAUTIONS
;
If it becomes necessary to transport or ship this unit
in the future, be sure to first remove the disc (if
loaded), and retract the disc table to its closed position.
Then turn the power off, and, after the “OFF” display
goes out on the display, disconnect the power cord.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
e@ Place the player on a stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.
@ Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the player.
e Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV
monitor. Also, keep the player away from devices such
as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
DO NOT INSTALL THE PLAYERIN THE FOLLOWING
coca ENS
In a place subject to direct sunlight.
In humid or poorly ventilated places.
In extremely hot or cold places.
Ina place subject to vibrations.
In a dusty place.
Ina place subject to soot, steam or heat (in a kitchen, etc.)
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an
amplifier. When installing with audio components on a rack,
avoid components that generate heat, by placing the player
below such components where there is adequate ventilation
and not much dust. Avoid placing the player on surfaces
such as shaggy carpets, beds, and sofas which may block
ventilation under the player and cause damage.
CAUTION
Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive
motoris still revolving. Since leaving the player in this condition
can shorten the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player
in the pause mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent
the damage to the screen, do not use the unit for long periods
of time under conditions in which the screen display (monitor)
has been displayed characters (for example, power-ON mode,
CD PLAY, PAUSE or DEMO mode (see back cover)).
With LD discs, if playback is paused for about 20 minutes, the
player will automatically enter stop mode.
STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV
PROGRAM
Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player
unit isturned on, depending on the quality of reception of the
TV station. This is neither a malfunction of the television nor
the player. If stripes appear while watching the TV, or when
watching the TV for long periods of time, turn the player off.
CAUTION FOR INSTALLATION INSIDE A RACK WITH
GLASS DOOR
Be cautious so that the disc table does not hit the glass when
the table is opened by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE (4) button
of theremote control unit. The disc table may fallin malfunction
if its motion is obstructed by a strong force.
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise
may be generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the
player when not in use. Also, if there is signal noise when
receiving radio stations with an indoor antenna, adjust the
position or direction of the antenna.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player
if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, player’s performance will
be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on,
or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player
is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such
cases, change the location of the player.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging
the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the
unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.
Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power
cords should be routed such a way that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the power cord regularly. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or
your dealer for a replacement.
CLEANING CARE
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the
cloth in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe.
Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any volatile agents
such as benzine or paint thinner, as they may damage the
surface of the player.
LD/CD lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal
use, but is for some reason it should malfunction due to
soiling, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center.
Lens cleaners for LD/CD players are commercially avaiable,
but special care should be exercised in their use since some
may cause damage to the lens.
Abnormal functioning of this unit may be caused by
lightning, static electricity, or other external inter-
ference. To restore normal operation, unplug the AC
power cord and then plug it in again.
Only one disc can be loaded at any one time. Loading a
LaserDisc, a Compact Disc, a 8 cm Compact Disc or a
Compact Disc with Video on top of one another may
resultin a breakdown, orin scratching of the discs. Please
only load one disc at a time.
This player is to be used exclusively with the NTSCcolor
system. Please use NTSC LaserDisc only. PALand SECAM
system discs cannot be used with this player. 5
